I think it just does command for download... I asked ebook and he said aosp doesn't work with those command for download... And I might be wrong but I think it is just shortcut for command... Wouldn't work for me
[Captivate Android Development] AceofSpades90:
There are tons of apps on the market that do exactly that. I use one of them myself :P
[Captivate Android Development] TheJareBear:
I've had the exact same problem happen to my phone recently. It's soooo Frustrating!!! :mad: Best solution to get into download mode is the jig I think. (By the way after having the phone looked at by a local professional they said the circuit board needs to be replaced since the power button still clicks, but doesn't respond... Smh, it cost 120 to fix)

Has anyone in this ROM had the issue of some calls going straight to voicemail? I'm in another ics ROM and it has been an issue for me and several others. About 30 percent of all calls are doing this and it's kinda annoying.

Edit: i should add that nothing shows up in the call log that i missed the call.

Thanks! :-)

The day I have to spend $120 to repair my phone is the day I sell it for parts and buy a used i897 or renew and get a new phone. I don't think bad power buttons has to do with ICS. I would recommend a jig or, with a lot of patience, try cleaning the power button with a very small needle,compressed air and last resort taking the phone apart. Most of the time its just lint build up.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Mine works just dandy. Not to rub it in or anything, lol

My power button stopped working when going back to GB miui from ICS.

Guess my power button liked ICS so much it committed suicide:p. Now i am on ICS and will never go back. R.I.P power button.:(

Thanks for the tip about the compressed air, I'll try it. Lol, and I'm going to buy a new phone before I spend that much to repair an old one!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If the repair shop says it's the board, I certainly have no proof to say otherwise. Just stating that the usual culprit was lint buildup. But let's be honest alot of our i897 are old and they will start to break down.
[Captivate Android Development] KSoD:
Okay I tried searching but am so lost.

I just busted the digitizer on my Atrix so I have to wait on the replacement parts on that to fix it. Until then I have to run my old Cappy.

But I am having issues that I just cant have. First I am still getting the charge death. I plug it in at night using the official Samsung chargers and when I get up, nothing. Pull the USB Cord and hit the power button, it fires right back up. I use my phone as my alarm. So I cant have this.

The Media Scanner is screwed. I flashed the ROM, deleted all data/cache/Davlik and everything that is supposed to be done. First reboot everything is fine. I check my media files and there is 1 copy of all my songs and ringtones. Upon reboot those files are gone! But after it scans again I can then use the 2nd copy of my ringtones with the Cappy. But it is still compiling my music over and over and over again. Last I checked I had 4 copies of ever song listed in both the default music player and PowerAMP.

So please can anyone point me in the right direction? I am so at a loss here and would love to sort these issues instead of having to go back to CM7. I love ICS over Gingerbread any day of the week, but if these things can get sorted, I gotta go back.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You in RC4.x? You need move your media out of external (easiest way of fixing multiple media items). As for sleep death I rarely get it so I wouldn't know a fix. But if you are UV'ing the I would suggest upping the lower freq voltage. But that's usually the solution for sleep death, not charge death.

EDIT: Try ICY Glitch. Might help.
[Captivate Android Development] KSoD:
The only issue is that once I get my Atrix fixed then I will have to copy the files back to my external media to transfer them back. Such a pain when there is over 550 songs on there and the Cappy isnt the quickest device I own. ;) Guess I will just have to live with that one.

I dont have anything but the stock Kernel installed. NO OC or anything. Everything is as designed for this ROM. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Then try ICY Glitch. Might fix your charge death. If it doesn't then I'm out of ideas.
[Captivate Android Development] DJHile:
I've been trying to flash this ROM all morning. I booted into CWM, clear cache, clear delvik, factory reset/data, flash from sd card, select, flash successful, reboot - Shows "ATT" screen, then Google boot screen, then back to "ATT" screen, then back to Google boot screen, then kicks me back into recovery....

I also tried doing another factory reset/data, clear cache, re-flash .zip, etc.

Anyone have any ideas?

I was running Team Hacksung's cm9, trying to come over and check out TEAM ICSSGS!
[Captivate Android Development] KSoD:
Thanks for the tip. I just flashed Icy Glitch and will see how it goes. Thanks for the input. I do appreciate it.

Also want to thank every one involved for the porting and/or bug hunting. I haven't been involved with much when it comes to the Crappy. But it is nice to know that I can just install and roll with an ICS ROM with no issues.

Try flashing cm9 and try again. If it loops with cm9 ODIN to "stock" and try again. Do not wipe before flashing RC4.x, it does it as needed. I had a similar issue before.

link for this specific exact platypus kernel on RC4.x

I want to do some testing and flashing but would like just the kernel file for this ics rom RC4.x (the Platypus kernel that comes with it)...there are so many that i'm finding on the site and am a bit confused. Can someone give me the link for this specific Patypus kernel that comes with this SGSICS build RC4.x?

I tried and tried myself with no success. Finally I screwed something up badly and flashed the mosaic9 Odin flasher. Incriminating had mosaic up I flashed straight to icssgs. Worked like a charm. I went stock then to cm7 and tried every other way. None worked but this for me.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
It's Funny I have owned several different models (seance I bought the sgs) and I always come back to the sgs. It is so solid and you can do most anything to it.... and it keeps on ticking;)

While it may start running into problems all parts for the phone are also very inexpensive now and well woth the upkeep.

The other great thing is, it's getting a second wind and development is on the climb again:)

[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
ATT Microcell and signal strength

I just installed ICS and so far not bad as I get use to it. I am having an issue with the modem not providing a strong signal when I have an ATT Microcell. Is there a list of modems to try?

I also get an error from when I restored my app....

"unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"

How can I fix that?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Did you restore any settings?
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
No, I use titanium backup and restored apps with data.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
That's your problem. Never restore data.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Well, that's easy to say. I use my phone for business, there's a mileage program I need the data on, as well as a few other programs - I have to restore that data. Do you mean all data, or only the data that applies to the phone/system?
[Captivate Android Development] KSoD:
You can restore apps and the app data, don't restore the system data. That is what will cause conflicts. The system data is not for the current kernel and build which will cause you nothing but issues.

Just restore the apps, the mileage program should he as current as your last backup.

Even some apps data will cause this. Some data just doesn't go well rom to rom. My 2 cents.
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
I did some searching and couldn't find the info I need. On the first page it states FM radio works with SpiritFM, but when I searched this thread, I found some people saying that the Captivate either doesn't have an FM radio or some variants have one, but it's disconnected. I also installed the app, plugged in some headphones, and I get: "Error: No FM accessible

Fm:BC sh:1.... etc"

So what is it?
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Preferred Kernel for latest SGSICS build RC4.x?

I'm just curious which kernel is typically more stable and/or faster (overall os performance) on this ISC? I've used the stock Platypus for a while now and seems pretty good but I see that many here talk about flashing to Glitch after installing or updating this ICS build RC4.x....

I finally found out reason for reboots as fine prints states to never use SetCPU on Plat kernel.. got rid of that and all good...other overall performance issues and growing lag may be my doing but doing another wipe and reflash to start fresh...

Do most actually prefer and suggest glitch for this release as it usually performs better? or stay on stock Platypus unless specific things req'd?

Thanks for any opinions
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
i installed the glitch, performance is surely way better then platypus but battery life is very poor for me so switching back to stock kernel ..

[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
For me Glitch works really good, you'll notice the performance improvement right away. For battery life i'm getting 12-16 hours or so but it dependa on apps sync, data and setting you have on your phone mostly
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
i dont have any sycns enabled and was expecting ~14hrs of battery life with moderate use but unfortunately for me its not working out :( ~4-5hrs of battery life:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] KSoD:
Yes I have seen this as well. Mainly CustomSMS does this for me. but almost all of my other apps can restore data with no issues at all from ROM to ROM. I was even able to pull some of my backup data from my Atrix over to this Cappy using TiBu with no issues. Aside from CustomSMS, which I uninstalled then reinstalled right away and reset the ringtones with no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
I selectively restored apps and data. No problem so far. The first time I just did a "select all apps + data". That caused the conflict.

I still have not figured the modem issue when I have a ATT microcell. On GB I had five bars, now it varies alot.
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
Thanks for the List of Modems. Looks like KG3 is much better.
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
yes it works better for me also then JL2 :)
[Captivate Android Development] Grey Ghost:
JL2's actually been pretty good for me, I did re-flash it after trying a few others.

Anybody else getting a sync error for "browser" under their Google account sync settings?

The blue and grey signal bars: not a signal civil war Mind you, from what I've red grey means no connection to Google servers or some such while full blue means all is well. I just chalk it up to fuzzy Google voodoo.

RE: Radio Issue

The only way i was able to get the SpiritFM to work was to turn on bluetooth first. From what i was reading, the wifi, bluetooth and FM are all on the same chip. For me there was no error message after bluetooh was enabled and it seemed to work but i only had static, no radio stations.
[Captivate Android Development] Grey Ghost:
I thought the good Ol' Cappy was FM Chipless
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
There's no FM radio. Period.

I have a hard time with this one. People have been asking this question on every ROM thread since friggin' Eclair.

The change logs / OPs are copy/pasted from the i9000 ROM; the i9000 has FM.

In my opinion:

a) people should know if their phones have FM radio or not

b) devs should really take two extra seconds to remove that from the OP
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
I'm sure that's easy for you to say as you gave no idea what goes on behind the scenes in developing the ROM. Yes, later I'll go back and fix it but there are to many things going on, trying to prepare the next release, keeping everything updated, answering people's questions in IRC, and the list goes on. I don't want to spend time on the thread, and I miss stuff. Also, the copy pasting goes both ways, as we try to make the threads look as alike as possible.
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
I have the same sync error for browser. My gmail or calendar would not sync if I had Sync Browser checked. Once I unchecked it, bang....everything works.

Thank you for your hard work devs. I for one appreciate everything you do, and the time that you put into what is NOT your full time paying job...... If people want everything to be perfect here from top to bottom they should start paying you for every hour that you guys put into this.

Thanks for the hard work guys.

Wtf, I've tried everything, once I install the rom and select reboot it goes right back to recovery. I'm on GB bootloaders, 5.5.0.2 recovery and still nothing. I've searched and searched.

[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
Hey guys I have a question. After flashing RC4.1 of this ROM my IMEI changed, and that was giving me a slight headache because im afraid that my phone is relocked, because ill need to use it Europe in couple weeks. Today i saw this new RC4.2 update and its changelog said somethin about fixing this IMEI changing problem. Well, I flashed it and guess what...my IMEI is still changed. Is there anyone else having this problem with IMEI, and did your phone relock after flashing this ROM ??
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
The OP has link to Google code page with wiki and FAQ that answer your questions. You can also try flashing another rom. If it still boot loops, then try Odin back to Samsung stock and then start from there.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
You can either restore your /efs backup or Odin back to Samsung stock and it should generate another imei for you.

Is it possible to unlock phone on this ROM if your IMEI changed, without going back to stock ??

What about the wifi is not working? The fix is out and built into 4.2 according to the site. I just flashed it and it looks like it's working..
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
I have my mobile data turned off and I checked my data usage with the carrier. I then downloaded, via wifi??, a couple of things from Market. Checked my usage again and it showed the download amount increasing by the amount I downloaded. I am not sure wifi is real.

i flashed this and it relocked my sim..not cool. will try again when it doesnt mess with my efs folder!
[Captivate Android Development] alan7825:
Wifi versus Mobile Data

I did a little more digging and found a setting I needed to turn off to shutdown data side. So with Data completely shutdown, wifi works fine. I do have a question though....I have the wifi "fan" which has a couple of blue bars but the signal bars to the right of the fan have full blue bars. When I turn wifi off, the fan goes away of course but the signal bars go from blue to gray. When I turn data on but no wifi the signal bars turn blue. When I go with data off, the signal bars go gray but with wifi on they go blue. When I have both wifi and data on, my data seems to take priority over my wifi, which didn't happen in GB....wifi had priority. QUESTIONS (finally), is what I am seeing normal? Second, is there a setting to make wifi priority?

I appreciate any feedback and assistance
[Captivate Android Development] Grey Ghost:
I had posted about the blue/grey coloring before and from what I've red grey means no connection to Google servers or some such while full blue means all is well. I just chalk it up to fuzzy Google voodoo. but really I'm not sure, I hear this was common back in GB too for various devices but I didn't really dig too much. as an experiment next time you see greyt fire up the marketplace and see if it switches to blue.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
wifi fix is in the 4.2. If wifi isn't working for you, try another modem and/or kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
If your imei is changed and begins with 0004 (I think) then you're using a temp(?) Imei and I don't think anything can be done with it. Have to restore your /efs or Odin back to Samsung stock.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
The devs tried a few times to get around this but I guess it's still happening to a few folks. However, you should be able to restore your /efs and all should be back to how it was.
[Captivate Android Development] daveshih:
Yes, grey means you've got network connections but haven't connected to Google servers. Blue means you have connected to Google servers. If it's grey for a long time, chances are something is wrong. However, sometimes Google and/or at&t can also have issues so don't panic if you haven't changed anything and then all of sudden they turn grey.

Ive never tried this rom, I was wondering how user friendly it is? My mom has gingerbread on her cappy and ive noticed some bugs and I was thinking of installing ICS to her phone. I would go with THS but i have it running on my phone and requires some tech know-how. Any advice would be much appreciated =)

BTW shes not technologically inclinded so if that helps, and if this isn't the rom to go with if someone could point me to one?
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
Definitely upgrade to this rom. It's not difficult to learn and I'm sure she'll like the better aesthetics offered in ICS. So far, with 4.1, everything should work amazingly, be smooth and have great battery life (my experience at least). However, 4.2 is giving some people some problems-- so wait until 4.3 or install 4.1 on her phone. :)
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
This ain't your momma's rom....at least not yet. It's still a RC(Release candidate)...not even a full release. Wait, unless you like tinkering with two phones.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Its actually pretty stable (daily driver for me) but millage might vary and I have to agree with dallasweb. Unless you want to tinker with 2 phones I wouldn't flash on my moms phone. Not yet at least. Some people are still getting funky wifi and data usage, IMEI wipes, Multiple copies of the same song (I still get that if songs are on external SD), etc.

I've had really good experiences with 3.1 and 4.1 but had the same issue with both. They both ran great for a few weeks then out of nowhere my wifi and cell icons are always grey and sync isn't working. What does it indicate when your wireless icons are blue vs. Grey and are there any possible fixes. I'm currently on 4.1 and can go to 4.2 but don't have much confidence that it will be any better.
